I used BOOTEASY 1.2 for a while because it's the only such program I know of
which allows me to boot from my second hard drive.  Unfortunately, my DOS also
boots with the time set to midnight of the same day (though the BIOS clock is
unaffected), and 386BSD seems to always boot with a time of around 10:25pm GMT.

I mailed the author recently to see if this was a know problem, and haven't
yet had a reply.
